Welcome

Björn Schießle has been active in the Free Software (aka Open Source) movement since the mid-1990s. Initially excited by the technical possibilities, the political and social aspects soon became the main reason why he stayed involved until today.

Professionally, he has always been fortunate enough to work exclusively on Free Software. First at the University during his PhD studies, later at ownCloud and since 2016 at Nextcloud, a company he co-founded and whose PreSales team he currently leads.

In addition to his commitment to Free Software and digital sovereignty, he is also active in local politics (German only).
